The next three days are dedicated to a heavy prep schedule for a four-day event I have this week at the The Crooked River Gathering . I also need to get my notes together for a skillshare presentation I’ll be giving on Saturday.

Apparently, I failed to coordinate my very busy schedule with Christine, who decided today was the perfect day to make her own presentation: two beautiful baby bucks. 😂

She handled most of the delivery on her own with just a little assistance from me. Buck #1 entered the stage in a full-on “Superman” position and got a little stuck. Buck #2 slid onto the barn floor stage like Tom Cruise in Risky Business.

Buck #1 is a little bigger
Buck #2 has a toupe

Both boys are doing great and are already ridiculously cute.

Now we need **C names**. What do you think?

My cookies have officially gone international! 🌎

They’ve been smuggled over the pond into the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵 and snacked on at tea time in the Emerald of the Equator! 🇸🇬

I don’t ship my cookies but my family wanted some goodies for their trip to Indonesia. Thanks to my daughter for making room in her suitcase and breaking international laws. JK!

Maine sourdough cookies: now traveling the world one suitcase at a time.

A snapshot of my week.

I'm no stranger to working hard. Pretty sure it's in my DNA. If you've read my story about my grandmother or met my mother, you know what I mean. When that work gets hard is when the efficiency is low.

I've been in this space longer than I'd like. I don't mind a little bit of chaos. In fact, I kinda like it. I have run a business out of my home for over 30 years. I know what it takes, but the chaos of the last couple of years has been beyond my preference. So when I tell you what a pleasure it is to have everything I need for baking in one space, I really mean it.

I have fewer days when I'm up at the butt crack of dawn and peeking into the next day on the other side. I have fewer days when a nap is a necessity. Having everything in one space is clearing my mind and making it easier to stay on top of things, which seems completely backwards.

You'd think the chaos of working out of multiple spaces would have forced me to be more efficient, but apparently my brain does not work that way. I needed my physical space to make sense before my brain could settle into a smooth rhythm.

Leftover sourdough → dinner.

Strata is one of my favorite ways to use leftover bread, and you can use fresh or stale bread for this. The beauty of strata is that you can throw pretty much whatever you have on hand into it.

For this one, I used a whole loaf of my Roasted Garlic & Rosemary sourdough, cubed and toasted, then added:

• 8 eggs from my chickens
• 2½ cups raw milk from Foster Farm
• Salt, pepper, parsley & oregano to taste
• Spinach, mushrooms & diced red onion
• Havarti cheese

Whisk the eggs, milk and seasonings together and pour over the toasted bread. Let it soak for at least 30–45 minutes. Longer is even better.

Add your veggies, mix it all together, top with cheese and bake at 350°F for 40–60 minutes, until golden brown and set in the

Use whatever bread, vegetables, proteins or cheese you have. That’s the whole point.

I was in a hurry to get to our weekly fellowship dinner, so mine could have used a few more minutes in the oven. Still absolutely delicious.

Save those leftover loaves. You have dinner.

Time to go on kid alert! We have 4 pregnant does all pretty much due at the same time. Wednesday is day 145, so very soon! I’m trying to get a new shelter and hay storage area ready before they get here. I’ve called in for reinforcements to get it done from my favorite (not so little anymore) sidekick.

Plan on being spammed with adorable videos of hopping kids for a bit.

There are some things I just assume everyone knows about my bakery because, well… I’m the one who set it up. I made “the rules.”

I spend a lot of time at events telling people where the bakery is and trying to convince them that Hebron is not actually Siberia. If you’ve traveled from Norway to Mechanic Falls or vice versa, there’s a good chance you’ve driven down my street. It’s a handy little shortcut.

I usually tell people to look for the big red flag at the end of the driveway that says SOURDOUGH BAKERY.

Lately, I’ve had at least half a dozen people tell me, “Oh! I’ve seen that flag. I just didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know if you were open. How does this work?”

Doh!

Clearly, what makes perfect sense to me does not necessarily make perfect sense to everyone else. So I worked up a little sign for the lamp post with the hours and a quick explanation of how the Bread Box works.

Sometimes you have to step outside of your own setup and look at it through someone else’s eyes.

Hopefully this little sign helps make things a bit more obvious for the people who have been wondering, “What exactly am I supposed to do when I get there?” 😆
